Abstract

The introduction of user and terminal mobility into private communication networks requires the provision of mobility management services. They handle the dynamic locations of mobile users and terminals and maintain the allocation of personal service profiles. The author is developing an open mobility management platform that contains a set of support functions and APIs on which mobility management services can be easily built. The platform performs location and profile handling based on distributed X.500 directory services and implements the required mobility management signalling protocols based on X.500 and LDAP directory access protocols. Additionally the platform offers three mobility abstraction levels that he uses to build mobile and location-aware multimedia applications. He developed a multi-master replication protocol for the directory servers inside the platform to fulfil the demanding performance and availability requirements of corporate networks. The mobility management services built on this platform can be easily customised to changing and evolving requirements and the platform functionality can be extended due to the generic directory service approach.

具有基于目录的架构和信令协议的开放式移动管理平台

将用户和终端移动性引入专用通信网络，需要提供移动性管理服务。它们处理移动用户和终端的动态位置，并维护个人服务配置文件的分配。作者正在开发一个开放的移动管理平台，该平台包含一组支持功能和api，可以在其上轻松构建移动管理服务。该平台基于分布式X.500目录服务执行位置和配置文件处理，并基于X.500和LDAP目录访问协议实现所需的移动性管理信令协议。此外，该平台还提供了三个移动性抽象层，他使用这些抽象层来构建移动和位置感知多媒体应用程序。他为平台内的目录服务器开发了一个多主复制协议，以满足公司网络苛刻的性能和可用性需求。构建在此平台上的移动性管理服务可以轻松地根据不断变化和发展的需求进行定制，并且由于采用通用目录服务方法，可以扩展平台功能。
